- Sum of angles of a triangle, TrianglesChoice C
An included angle is the angle between two sides of a triangle.
Step 1: draw the isosceles triangle △RST
**Step 2: find the measure of ∠S
Since $\overline{\rm RS}=\overline{\rm RT}$, it follows that ∠S = ∠T.
Let ∠S = ∠T = x°:
$$ 50°+x+x=180° $$
$$ \therefore x=\frac{180°-50°}{2}=65° $$
